    JBA STD UCAs. 6112/5160 @6/5. Wheelers 1.5" 3AAL with Superbumps. BROG molle headrest covers. GMRS & Ham radios with roof-mounted NMO Laird Phantom antenna. Thinkware front/rear dashcams, FreshMexicanTaco's DMM, Meso's dome/map LEDs & Flipfob, Swingcase on driver side. Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM). Two-wheel drive Low Range Mod (2LM). Overland Tailor Tune (OTT) 7.0. Extra juicy oil spill on the bed mat.
    I have the 6112/5160+3AAL kit sitting here from Wheeler's. So far no one in my area has the ECGS bushing removal tool, so I can't do the 6112s or lift the back until I order the tools (it kills me to buy the removal/install toolset for $75!).

    Needing a quick win for the day, so I installed the rear shocks just to see how it feels with no lift. I took it for a spin and hit all my neighborhood dips, divots, potholes, curbs.

    WOW! Potholes? What potholes? How do you guys who've done a 6112/5160 lift not go telling on the mountain or shout from the rooftops? I waited four years and 50k miles to do what should've been done on Day 1. This makes a huge difference! I can't wait to do the fronts. :annoyed:

    If anyone in NWA can lend me the ECGS removal+install tools, I will donate my extra Fox Roost Shield to you.

    It’s a great set up. Put mine in around 2k one of the best decisions I have made yet.4AA75377-BF7F-4DB0-8229-51586A8CC25E.jpg
